Rare Marina Bay land may fetch $1.8 billion

The first sale of land in Singapore’s Marina Bay in nine years is set to fetch a bumper price as developers compete for a piece of the sought-after financial district. Here are some highlights:

The highly sought-after land next to Asia Square may fetch $1.8 billion. Works out to be $1200 psf ppr

As a reference, Asia Square land was sold in 2007 at $2.02 billion or $1409 psf ppr

Come 2019, 2020 and 2021 there will be zero office supply, and there has never been such a thing in Singapore’s history where there are three years of zero supply. That’s why the government has started this sale.
